You won’t hear any I-told-you-so’s from our Pick ‘Em entrants about Chris Swanson’s 1650 free title. That’s because not a soul predicted the Penn senior to win the mile at NCAAs. The full winner pick stats are here.

With all the insanely fast swimming that occurred this weekend at Men’s NCAAs, SwimSwam carried out it’s own version of an Easter egg hunt yesterday. Below is a list of all the NCAA, American, U.S. Open, Championship, McAuley Aquatic Center, and school records broken in Atlanta, GA.

In an incredibly fast and exciting race to the finish, Texas Longhorn Will Licon took the NCAA title in the men’s 200 IM. Licon, a junior, reeled in California’s Josh Prenot and Ryan Murphy to claim the NCAA title, breaking Ryan Lochte‘s pool record in the process with his time of 1:40.04. Licon is now the second fastest performer of all time in this event and also has the second fastest performance in history behind Stanford’s David Nolan.

In 2007, Ryan Lochte set the American record in this pool at 1:40.08. It wasn’t until last year that his record was knocked off by Nolan at the Pac 12 Championships. At that NCAA Championships, Licon paced with Nolan to finish second at 1:40.09, just missing Lochte’s best time. At the time, Licon’s 1:40.09 was the fourth fastest swim in history.
